Apple rumors: OS X 10.8.3, ‘decimated’ Logic teams

“The first OS X 10.8.3 beta includes drivers for AMD’s Radeon HD 7900-series video cards, the 7950 and 7970, notes Netkas.org. The cards aren’t in any current Macs; they’re in fact based on AMD’s new Graphics Core Next architecture, and are each equipped with 3GB of DDR5 RAM. It’s believed that Apple could be including the drivers for the sake of a new Mac Pro.” — “MacNN” (www.macnn.com)

“There may be no future for Apple’s pro audio application Logic if reports that the company has ‘decimated’ its Pro Audio applications team turn out to be true. Pro Tools Expert sources claim that in Europe Apple has just two pro application specialists and no plans to hire any one else.” — “Macworld UK” (www.macworld.co.uk)

“A third-party reseller, Expercom, has published what it says are the extra build-to-order costs for the 2012 iMac, which starts shipping on Friday.” — “MacNN” (www.macnn.com)
